Allison Edwards

Trade barriers imposed by the Trump Administration threaten to diminish the benefits of international trade. AAF’s Director of Immigration and Trade Policy Jacqueline Varas has created a one-stop shop for you to keep up with President Trump’s trade actions and their impact on the U.S. economy.

On May 10, 2019, the president increased tariffs on nearly $200 billion of Chinese goods from 10 percent to 25 percent. Varas finds the president’s currently imposed tariffs could increase nationwide consumer costs by $66 billion annually.
